i was playing with virtual routing on openbsd4.9 recently
first results using vlans are impressive
now i am asking myself if virtual routing is possible
- without using dedicated physical interfaces for each routing domain
- without using dedicated vlans for each routing domain

idea behind this:
i have a network appliance with 3 interface (int/ext/mgmt)
i want to configure 5 routing domains
i have limited number of physical interfaces
i do not want to use vlans

so what i would need in this case is something like a virtual ethernet
interface
- which can be bound to a physical ethernet interface (similar to vlans)
- and the virtual virtual ethernet interface should be assignable to a routing
domain

any ideas?
guess aliases of an interface are not assignable to a routing domain...(?)
maybe something in progress in the dev tree?

many thanx
